Last time I checked, I did not have a humongous large colon or cecum with
which to do what horses do with roughage.  And last time I checked, horse
stomachs were only about twice as large as mine, hence their continual feeding
pattern and my mealtime feeding pattern.  While comparative physiology is a
valid thing to study, we must take great care in extrapolating from species to
species when such large differences in the basic natures of the beasts exist.
